Running Accomplishments:

I'm a 40+ "used to be"...

7 years ago had BAD case of frostbite and nearly lost my feet.  Stopped running (obviously) & gained LOTS of weight.  Started jogging again when local community club needed a coach and found out that exercise helped to increase circulation in my affected areas as well as decreased overall weight which helped to take pressure off my feet.  Still deal with neuropathy and Reynauds--but do not take ANY pain meds to manage the pain.  Gotta' love running!!!

SO, any past accomplishments do not matter....only that I can get ut the door almost every day and run another run.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Currently building base to lead up to traditional Marathon

Goals:

Have not yet decided on race schedule for this year, but am shifting focus from ultras to trying to nail down some shorter speedy races and a tradtional marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for as long as I can & share the knowledge that God has graced me with by continuing to coach as well.

Personal:

Son:  Drew...currently runs for Adam's State!!

Currently Coaching:  Revolution Running

Day Job:  St. Joe's Veteran's Home

Total Distance
6.40

6.4 miles EZ

Ran 15 miles each on Tuesday and Wednesday and just really felt like going EZ today…

I have not blogged in a while due to crazy life happenings…Sorry if I worried anyone.  Apparently, my computer—which is rather old—has finally kicked the bucket and I am too poor to get another one…

Drew came home for spring break, my ex showed up suddenly from across the ocean, and the other distance coach left for March Madness, Vegas style leaving me with lots o kids to coach and her dog to watch!

Also, tried to help kick start the Team Challenge season with some recruiting/ info sessions…SO, just LOTS on the plate right now.  I hope to get caught up on the ol blog on Saturday while I am waiting for Drew to race at CSU-Pueblo.. 

In the interim, I did get my race report up for the Gateway Canyons “Better Half” Half Marathon for 3/19/11…
